Trails

Did you know that bicycling is the most efficient form of transportation known to humankind!

Sheboygan County maintains a plethora of trail and other nonmotorized facilities (i.e. bike lanes, sidewalks, etc.). In fact, there are over 39 miles of paved off-road multi-use trail facilities located throughout the County, all of which will eventually be part of the NOMO Network. The Sheboygan County Planning & Conservation Department is responsible for fully maintaining the Interurban Trail, Old Plank Road Trail, and has some maintenance responsibilities associated with the The Shoreland 400 Rail Trail. The Department also played a significant role in the development of the trail adjacent to Taylor Drive in the City of Sheboygan. In the near future, the Department will also have responsibility over one additional trail in the City of Sheboygan/Town of Wilson that is being built through the Nonmotorized Transportation Pilot Program Grant (NOMO). This facility will run in the southside transmission utility corridor from Camelot Dog Park west until County Highway OK.

“I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list. That didn't look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away.”
